Jordan Peterson also talks about how important it is to have people like you. Lots of benefits in the scenario of something like layoffs such as having someone to bat for you and defend why you need to be kept etc.
"the worst long-term decisions are made when someone is up for promotion. They optimize for near-term numbers to appear good for that period of time at detriment to the firm and the next guy who shows up."
This is also one of the many reasons academia is as messed up as it is. The administrative track is: chair for a while, hired as a dean somewhere else for 5 years, then dean at a more impressive college or move up to provost next, there for 5 years, and steadily climb the ladder. (Possibly assorted associate positions in between). They all have to make changes to show their impact, that impact has to happen before they can hop jobs, and most important, it has to sound good.
Tenure is a separate issue, and I don't think it has the impact you do. We can test this: what do you think is the difference between the # of people bleeding out industry, vs # of tenured faculty bleeding out the university? If you need an example of what happens to tenured faculty when a university collapses, check out the University of Alaska over the last 4-6 years.
Tenure concerns aside, even under the current system, chairs, deans, provosts, and other administrators can (and are) relieved from their chair, dean, etc position if they don't perform well. If they fail, they can't chase the next promotion. This incentivizes results inside of a 5-year time span, and they don't plan long-term.

Academia isn't a real business. Anything where you can be "tenured" and never fired just means that it's not based on performance
Over long term the tenured people just do less and less and worse work
